Chicago Catholics Stand Up for Migrant Rights

Chicago Catholics are working to protect the dignity and rights of migrants amidst ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations and protests.

According to Cardinal Cupich of Chicago, ensuring the country's safety and respecting human dignity are not mutually exclusive.

"In fact, one cannot exist without the other,"
he said.

The cardinal criticized the aggressive tactics of federal agents, stating that they have overreached and caused unnecessary chaos. He emphasized that law enforcement should not be used to terrorize, but rather to fulfill its noble purpose.

Catholics in Chicago are striving to uphold the human dignity of affected immigrants and protect their rights to worship and receive sacraments.
